NY Fashion Week: Pole Dancing Models!

September 9, 2008 by Kelly

Yummie Tummie at NY Fashion WeekYummie Tummie was displayed in an interesting way on Thursday for New York Fashion Week. Instead of traditional runway models, Yummie Tummie creator Heather Thompson turned to the city’s best pole dancers to display her Spring 2009 line of shapewear.

To choose the dancers, Thompson held pole dancing competitions at Manhattan’s swankiest gentlemen’s clubs. The dancers performed their routines on brass poles, and the top eight dancers won the modeling spots. On Thursday, the West End Cafe near Times Square had its lower level transformed into a strip club as four dancers at a time took to the poles and performed their routines in Yummie Tummie tank tops and camisoles.

The models had quite different body types, with varying skin colors and cup sizes (from AA on up!) Thompson said of this decision, “Every woman of every size deserves sexy lingerie that can be worn underneath her clothes or that’s meant to be seen.”

You can find Yummie Tummie yourself at Bare Necessities.

Yummie Tummie Tanks – Oprah’s Top Pick!

May 20, 2008 by Krista

Yummie Tummie on Oprah (photo from Oprah.com)Back in March, guest blogger, Heather, of Bare Necessities, first introduced us to the brand Yummie Tummie in her very informative post about shapewear. Since then, Yummie Tummie has made quite an impression on the intimate apparel market as well as on media maven, Oprah! Recently featured on Oprah’s Top Picks for Summer (with special guest Heidi Klum), Yummie Tummie shaping tanks are unique in that they are designed to be seen! Look sleek, slender, and sexy in your choice of 10 colors including black, white, chocolate, red, navy, and nude!

Why else should you own a Yummie Tummie tank? Well, the tank is made of a slick, soft cotton, so is naturally comfortable and won’t cling to your clothes. The fabric also features moisture-wicking so you will stay cool and dry. The longer silhouette means you won’t have to deal with that annoying roll up that often plagues us all when wearing tanks.

The Yummie Tummie Tank featured on Oprah is available in both a hip length and a long length style. Other styles include a Basic T, Strappy T, and Basic V (with a Nursing T on the way – preorder at Bare Necessities!). Sizes range from XS – XL. Yummie Tummie tanks and tees retail from $62 – $82 and are available at over 600 retailers in the U.S. including Bloomingdales and Neiman Marcus. Select international locations also carry Yummie Tummie. For online ordering, Bare Necessities has you covered.

Shapewear Trends for 2008

March 26, 2008 by Bare Necessities

With spring trends once again incorporating fun, flirty dresses and feminine, detailed blouses – it’s important to have the right undergarments on to look your best. So I’ve put together my first spring shapewear must-have list, matching the latest shapewear silhouettes with this season’s fashions.

1. Spanx Power Panties

SPANX Higher PowerSpanx of course is the hottest brand in shapewear right now, and their Power Panties have been a best seller for us for the past year. Spanx offers 2 styles of Power Panties; the original style, which sits right at your waist and shapes you down to your upper thigh, and the Higher Power, which hits right below your bra line and stretches down to your upper thigh. (They even offer a third style, a maternity shaper called the Mama Power Panty!), My own personal preference is for the Higher Power style, because it eliminates “muffin top” and shapes your thighs without riding up. It also eliminates panty lines and is not binding on the leg. These styles are great to wear everyday in place of your regular underwear.

2. Slimming layers.

Layering will be a popular trend again this Spring, and there are several new shaper camisoles that will allow you to layer AND slim. This trend really works for us because you get to show off layers of Spring color while keeping the muffin-top at bay. My favorite shaping tank this season is by Yummie Tummie.TC Fine Shapewear Seamless Firm Control Camsiole Designer Heather Thomson started with an everyday comfy cotton tank and added moderate control microfiber fabric in the midsection. It’s available in an assortment of colors to serve as a perfect bottom-layer to any layering camisole.

Another great option is the TC Fine Shapewear’s Seamless Firm Control Camsiole. It has adjustable straps for extra support and firm shaping material to smooth out love handles. The bottom of the tank has a comfortable silicone lining that keeps your tank from riding up so you are not tugging all day long. Perfect under any top.

3. No VPL

This season there are several good solutions to the dilemma of, “I want a smooth, slim-looking waistline, but if I wear shapewear, the bulk will create panty lines or worse, even peek through the bottom of my skirt!” The shapewear thong solves that dilemma; smooth control where you need it, and only where you need it. Two of my favorites for getting rid of VPL and still achieving a smooth, slim looking waist are the High-waist control thong from Bodywrap, and the ‘No Show Thru’ shapewear thong from TC Fine shapewear. These shapewear thongs are seamless and made of a soft microfiber that will keep you feeling comfortable yet supported all day long. And best of all, they are on sale at BareNecessities.com this week only (through 3/27) for 25% off!

4. Shape me all over.

The Body Wrap: Body Wrap Lites Seamless Body Toning with UnderwireOf course, regardless of season, customers are always looking for their go-to I-feel-like-looking-fabulous-tonight all-over body shaper. For me, that would be the Seamless Body Toning shaper from The Body Wrap’s Lites collection. This light control bodybriefer is great under skirts and dresses. It comes with both traditional and clear adjustable straps that makes it easy to wear under this seasons hottest trends.

That’s it for now!
